I have a friend who gets paid quarterly...

Accountants must love that job

Here in germany that's the norm. It's unusual to get paid in other timeframes

Yes, I know, I myself live in Germany and know many good ice soup recipes, or as we call it: Eissuppe

Have you tried pretending the last $1 million in your bank account is zero dollars?

Too busy pretending the $0 in my bank account is $1 million

Something I did after getting married but wish I’d done all along:

Two different accounts. (Three if married.) One for income and non-discretionary spending. One (per person) for “allowance”, which gets a set amount transferred from the main account every week.

Keeps your essentials partitioned from the fun stuff, which keeps the essentials safe and the fun guilt-free. And it allows you to have a steady stream of allowance even if you only get a paycheck monthly or biweekly.

You're better off. I had a DX7 for a little while. It was insanely complicated to program and I could never get it to do anything that didn't sound like 80s cheese.
